When he comes back, he pulls me into his side and widens his hand over my stomach. His thumb starts a small lazy circle on my skin and it prickles beneath his touch.

I spin around to look at him and his expression drops.

“Are you okay?”

I nod drawing a finger over his mustache.

He leans in, drawing my mouth to his, and we explore each other in these new bodies we possess.

“Stay here,” he whispers, with heavy-lidded eyes.

I close my eyes and snuggle into him because I never want to leave.

I want forever with him.

The puzzle of our souls is altered, and I know my life will never be the same.

I’m in love with my husband, and I shouldn’t be, but I don’t think I had a chance the moment I said,I do.

Shiloh

Wakingupinhisarms is something I could get used to.

But I can’t.Everything is different now, but it doesn’t change anything.

I roll over slowly to go let the dog out, but then his large arm comes back around, pulling me into his bare chest.

“Where are you going?” he asks tightening his arm.

“To let the dog out.”

“Already done,” he mumbles, still half-asleep.

He lets me go laying on his back and I turn to look at his profile. He’s normally meticulous, but right now he’s messy. I love it.

He turns his head to look at me. We didn’t set an alarm and I know I’m very late to work, but I can’t find it in myself to care.

“Let me take you out tonight,” he says.

I hum. “I’m not really interested in the diner, or one of the bars we’ve been to countless times.”

The corner of his mouth tips up. “Good thing I wasn’t going to take you to any of those places.”

“Oh? Where are we going?” I ask him.

He runs a hand through his hair brushing it back. “You’re just going to have to trust me.”

I know he’s messing with me, but I trust him, and it hits me how much I really do.

“We’re very late,” I mumble.

He groans, then flips himself onto me, and I wheeze, trying to breathe under the weight of him. “Ten more minutes,” he says, covering my body.

“I don’t think I’ll last that long,” I gasp.

He chuckles and takes his weight off of me, kissing me long and slow.
